Massive leap for humanity. Great work to everyone working on this. I can't wait to see the company reach scale and bring down the price.
Given how how the prices dropped in the past few years, I cannot see cost being a problem. Growing a huge animal for years just to throw away most of it, is simply inefficient.
I wonder how much resources it takes to make it vs the standard one. Does it consume less water/electricity over the same quantities produced by standard meat?

I’m a vegetarian anyway.
However, I find it astounding how many humans are so trusting with their health/life!
People who think this is gross should see how chicken nuggets and other meat products are made. This is arguably more natural as well.
Maybe so. But when a person wants to depopulate and owns this co it is disturbing since you have zero clue to what's being put in it..

Natural?
There is nothing natural about this
I'm not a vegetarian, a vegan, or an animal rights activist by any means but I think this is something that's just obviously a better choice for everyone once it becomes economically viable at scale. If we can have real meat without killing animals and without the negative environmental impact the agricultural industry has, that would be amazing. I look forward to seeing this and other competing companies progress towards that goal!
Lab Meat requires Bovine Fluid which comes from Slaughtering Pregnant cows so now it's not vegetarian.
@@TheWaleedKhalid
Are you being serious or joking?
@@TheWaleedKhalid That is no longer the case. They used to use Bovine Fluid in the early stages but with the mass production they use a plant based derived fluid.
Correct
It's not just that, once we mastered this tech it will also pave the way to more culture growing like growing VEGETABLES AND FRUITS in the lab, even make them grow far faster, and not season reliant. If our CRISPR tech advances further, we can even manipulate the physical make up of the cultured food to make them easier to store, eat and digest, increase their shelf life, and even make them far more healthier than traditional food. Vertical scaling also means far less land area needed for food production. Then there's also the benefit of paving the way to growing Organs not just Tissues, and we can go even further by using the tech to grow stem cells outside the body and store them for future medical use!
Please let this man be successful
So one day we will taste human flesh!

@@Nekr0n35 hahahahaha
@@Nekr0n35 Oddly enough, eating human flesh via this technology would be ethically superior to eating non human animals. There would be a consenting donor for the original cells from a biopsy. We can not get consent from non human animals.
@@someguy2135 as if getting consent from animals to eat them matters.
Amazing video. Rollercoaster of emotions. I bet the Veterinary dad would not be any prouder seeing his son potentially revolutionize our world and save millions, maybe billions, of animal lives.
Not only animal lives, but human lives. Animal agriculture is one of the leading drivers of environmental degradation, water pollution, wasted resources (like fresh water), and climate change. Current standard practices in animal ag greatly increases the chances of more pandemics and epidemics from zoonotic diseases, as well as antibiotic resistant pathogens.
That will.not save any lives, contrary that will put livestock animal spiecies into extinction at a cost of something disgusting and far more unhealthy to eat.
I’m wondering if the world liders will eat that , not to long ago turdo was in a steak restaurant, and burning fuel with his private plane, sounds like we will own nothing and. Be happy about 😊
It's a bit false to say this will save animals lives. If it takes off then those animals won't ever actually exist. But I get what you're saying, an animal won't exist to be led to slaughter and experience death for sustinance on an industrial scale.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS BOVINE FETAL SERUM ? Well they need that to grow meat in lab ,….
We’re standing on a track record of being able to question the IMPOSSIBLE and keep moving BEYOND that!
Love that guy!!!
To Infinity, and Beyond!
I see the pun.. 😏
Spoken like a true sheep. You don’t realize what you’re advocating for
Clever 👍
Funny to think that this will likely be the norm in the future and the natural meat will end up being considered a rare delicacy.
it will probably go the way that we see people who still carry traditions of eating monkey brains or dolphins, looked down upon and in fact shunned and ostracized. nobody will be able to comprehend how we were able to accept factory farming as normal.

They could do fish fillets, assuming the price would be the same it would be economically viable already.
Ground meat is easier to start, fish filets may be difficult since a lot of time needs to be spent on perfecting the right mix and layering of different cells for texture and consistency
We need cultivated fish.. Considsring all the Micro plastics in the ocean
You like fish sticks ...
@@feeshtacos Lol yes I like fish sticks in my mouth
This is already being done by a company called finless foods.
I'm vegan but I would eat this. Very happy to see this field grow. I turned vegetarian as a kid after eating a pet chicken and getting sad. Relatable
I am not vegan, but I would switch to lab Meat as soon as it is available and reasonably affordable.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 I am confused. My Vegan sisters told me this is not vegan and she would never even consider it. I have no idea about vegans but is she wrong?
@@patrick-bu3eq FBS is not used anymore by larger cultivated meat companies, it would be super expensive and not enough. They all use synthetic growth media.
@@darkwowpg It depends on the reason someone is vegan i would guess. If somene is vegan because they dont want to hurt other living creatures, or hurt the envrionment, than switching to this would be obvious. But some people do it for religious reasons, like hindus, they would probably not change even if its lab grown. And than there are those that dont understand it and are irrational and wont eat it because reasons.
@@darkwowpg They are wrong
If it doesnt involve the killing part , there is no reason for a vegan to not eat lab-grown meat

When he said “what comes next” I had to stop the video to post a comment. I imagined that the video was going to show the inside a slaughterhouse. If one has a soul, watching that, would be impossible-IMPOSSIBLE!
In 1952, science fiction author Clifford D Simak wrote that farms would go out of business because food would be grown in vats. 70 years later, it seems like it might happen.
If we can set up a factory in all major cities then the carbon footprint will lower dramatically

This is the Future, imagine how many Animals will be saved 🤗
Democrats & politicians love sheep!🤣
I will try this product. I think it's promising and will help feed humanity.
Not promising cause it costs more than our souls
This method should be very efficient and profitable, because only meat is produced not the animals nonmeat infrastructure!
this is some sci-fi s#*t right there O_o If I could pay extra for meat that does not include animal suffering I'd do that in a blink of an eye. Hoping you guys make it and I'll be eating your Upside chicken fajitas in the near future!
If this gets to become truly mainstream it will even be far more cheaper than Traditional farm meat and may even pave the way to making households able to grow their own culture food if they're able to refine the procedure enough that it can be solely done by a machine the size of a common refrigerator! Imagine a future where each household has a staple Culture food maker appliances that can make 2kg of meat, fruits or vegetables you want everyday?
No
Love this attitude!
These fake chickens 🐓that you are planning to dine on never walked, clucked or layer an egg 🥚. Probably made from petrified squirrels and other roadkilled animals. Grow a brain 🧠, and think about that for a few minutes 🤔!!
I’m a vegetarian because I hate animal suffering & my stomach isn’t a graveyard.
With that said, as far as my health/life?
I would NOT trust this at all!
I think that one of the biggest hurdles regarding growing cellular culture involves the nutrients that are used to grow the meat. I read somewhere that growing beef required the use of nutrients taken from a cow foetus (which is counter-productive). Glad to see they've solved that problem!
Yes, FBS is needed.
@@ooooneeee Not any more, they have solved that problem. See Upside Foods twitter account for the announcement made in Dec 2021.
It is from real meat muscle strands.
Ultra highly processed foods grownfrom cancer cells. Yummy and healthy
They make such a big deal out of 'how PERFECT does it taste?' When in reality, the fundamental factor is how economical can this be produced. Flavor and spices can be figured out. But if it costs $20 a pound, it won't make a dent in the global meat production industry.
Theoretically, it should end up cheaper than "regular" meat pretty fast once they finish scaling up everything and figuring out all the nooks and crannies of food production/distribution.
If they managed to get from $18,000 to $18 in 5 years, I think they'll manage to get from $18 to $1-2. It's just a question of time. Not of decades but of years.
It's a scalable technology. The price is based on marginal costs which have been decreasing by 10x every two years which means that by around 2025, prices will start to be comparable with regular meat. And since variable costs for producing lab meats is lower than that of growing animals and the costs are decreasing at a log rate every year, it's conceivable that it will continue to be decline thereafter and be cheaper than regular meat. Ground meat is often used as an input for different meat products, and if lab grown meat can be marginally cheaper, producers will start switching suppliers just as what has happened with the growth of non-dairy alternatives in the milk industry.
My concern is what ingredients are used to feed the cells.
😳😳😳
Plants, just like the ones the real animals eat, it causes the cells to grow. I will be glad when they start selling this meat as it will be a kinder world and much better for the environment. I personally will stick to eating plants.
Exactly
It will have to be plant based extracts to be economical, so I am not worried. The conventional meat market is already spreading nasty propaganda but they can't be trusted. The video actually mentions using corn, soy, and other plants.
Exactly, notice how they don’t mention anything else
As a kid this is how I thought thay made chicken nuggets. Glad they are finally doing it
You didn’t think it came from a chicken? as the name intends (chicken nuggets)
Thank you for a very informative video, I think the issue with this will be that during R&D, competition between companies is a good thing and speeds up the road to market. However once the point is reached for large scale consumer retail then a lot of great work and time and energy will fall by the wayside as some companies dominate the market. For this to be of real benefit to humanity it would need an approach where the intellectual property rights are cheaply licensed worldwide so Global production can ramp up almost immediately. This is the kind of technology that needs global collaboration via an agreement at the relevant COP meeting when economic viability is reached.
In the UK, we consume 17,000 chickens every 9 minutes
Weird time scale
Update after one year: the FDA approved it! So the first step is done.
I am waiting for Dr. Fauci's opinion.
Ashlee always gets to cover the cool stuff!
I've been following the progress of this technology for years and it's so impressive how much it exploded recently! Well done guys! You are doing great stuff!
They recently received a green light from the FDA.
I feel like watching the beginning of a history. Things just getting started and I believe this is the start of something big.
this way meat can be produced locally in large cities, reducing the fuel usage of large trucks and congestion on highways, also reducing spoilage by having a longer end-user shelf life

McDonalds should make nuggets from these. People already think the nugget meat is fake...
Fantastic work! Please roll it out ASAP so we can take our grasslands, lakes, and wilderness back
I'm wondering what amount of amino acids and fats are found in the lab-made meat. (Or if there's any at all)
This will be great but it'll only really kick off once it is as cheap or cheaper than factory farmed meat, can't wait to have my chicken nuggets+strips replaced in 5-10 years
I really wish them success. I'd actually prefer this to printed vegetable, that other solutions bring.
Super pumped. Can’t wait!
this will change the world
I think the message should mainly be that "no animals are killed". No need to wash it out and say that is for "economic reasons". The need to not inflict unnecessary suffering in others is a thing that even the most conservadurist meat eater would support.
Just a reminder that Soylent Green was people ♻️
If I'm not wrong, SG is the only country that has lab grown meat sold commercially and has started commercial production of lab grown chicken meat.
Cold Cuts, Sausages, chops 🥩 and steak cuts, weiners, buger patties...I am waiting for the replicated meat to be available.
Ashlee Vance! WOW I was just reading one of his books!
Hi! Thanks for reading!
I saw this as an ad
I was not dissapointed
Thanks Bloomberg!! for this wonderful content.
So what exactly is used as the grower “clean nutrition”/what are people truly consuming?
Looking forward to it!
I hope this company reach its goals and be famous in markets by making it cheaper and at mass production
Sounds funny in a context of this market :)) "We are standing on it at track record being able to question the Impossible and keep moving Beyond that..."
I can't wait. Where can I buy it?
brilliant company name too !

This is the future of food.
1) All vegetables, fruits, and grains are produced with regenerative agriculture and plaudiculture
2) Seafood and sea greens are sourced from regenerative ocean farming.
3) All meat and dairy are produced from cultured cells.
So basically , if Bill Gates donate his cells to this factory can I taste big "Billy" burger out of him?
Thank you for sharing this insightful video! I personally think this cultured meat is a great innovation in the food industry because it is more environmentally friendly (uses less water, produces less pollution) and more sustainable compared to regular meat. Amazing work!
Fantastic.,.. looking forward to buy.....in India
A couple of decades ago, when I was a vegan in the nineties, I wondered why if human skin can be grown for grafting, why can't we grow hamburgers?
This is just the start, I wonder other cells they can grow
Holy 🐄 Cow! Like literally, if this company IS gonna be successful it's going to be Apple or Tesla of meats. Questioning the status quo, helping an industry survive the demand and I mean demands both in consumption and production. If Ashley says it tastes like chicken, well it can at least help the food/meat industry by manufacturing products that can help ease both on the manufacturing and consumption side of the market needs.
This is the future of meat production! I wonder if lab made eggs and dairy could be possible too?
You could check JUST. Though the eggs are not really cultivated from cells, but with plants. They offer plant-based condiments, too!
Or buy egg from chickens grown outside and on the ground
No point.
@@arielcatli2962 Pretty much all condiments are plant-based, except salt.

Think of how it could eliminate food hunger in poor countries 😍
Great video. But I can't help thinking that the logo for upside foods looks like a tongue, which totally soured my thinking of the meat. :/

Ready to buy, If it's more expensive then I'll just eat it once a week or once a month. Just take my money, please
We learnt to cultivate plants and now we're starting to cultivate real meat by growing cells!
The most intriguing prospect for me is being able to go to a store and buy any portion of any species in the animal kingdom or even custom meats and dairy products. Just think if you are a Chef, the possibilities are endless.
I’m all for ending the savage cruelty of CAFOs and the massive negative impact that industrial meat production has on the earth… and human health, for that matter.
BUT what are these ‘nutrients’ that are fed into the vats of animal cells? what INPUTS are needed to grow meat in a lab, and where are they sourced from?
This looks like a scene from a sci fi movie.
How can cellular muscle development be synthesized without movements to mimic natural processes like walking? If animals that move around a lot have healthier nutrition profiles than animals that are kept stationary, why is the same not true for vats of meat?
what do you think muscle development is?
@@demonz9065 well, I'm not a cell biologist, but I would hypothesize there's all sorts of associated growth factors, myocyte organelle changes, and even things like connective tissues that might need tensions in order to properly develop all within muscle development. Maybe some of this can be done synthetically, or maybe it's proprietary and they can't talk about it, but certainly there's room for someone out there to add some information to the topic.
@@Teekles less taste
That's just a matter of changing density of muscular protein in lab meats. Will be a big problem for creating things beyond just ground meat to recreate textures but it's theoretically possible to do, just not sure if it's economical
@@leftovercrumbs501 who want's strong meat though? we want meat grown into muscle fibers but why would we want it to be strong?
This is going to be as normal as cheese in a few decades. I would bet on it.
And an incredible quantity of land currently used for livestock and growing their food will become available to rehabilitate, or other uses again. It could mean a shift to drastic reforestation for one. Since most deforestation is exactly to grow food for livestock, or gain pasture.
I don't think natural meat is leaving the dinner table anytime soon, it will be a generational process for people in general to change their preferences, but this is technology - i.e. Eventually we will get so good at it, that it's better than real meat in all ways. Just a century ago game meat was still a common addition to most people's diets. Today it's a curiosity.
Now I know why I hate cheese so much
How do you figure lab grown meat will be better than real "natural" meat?
@@nickheadd3390 I can guarantee you there will eventually be lab grown meat that is superior in every way to natural meat. As long as there's a market, part of the market will be for premium products for which people are willing to pay top Dollar. And so the incentive will be there for the tech to develop. And the standards will gradually rise.
@@joeblack4436 Superior how?

I am vegetarian for religious reasons and I definitely want this to succeed. Obv u can't call yourself vegetarian even if u eat this from an unslaughtered animal cause it's still meat. Those cells transform into meat and so for people who don't want to eat flesh of an animal, they won't eat this. But other than that this is fine. If u eat flesh of an animal fish etc you can't call yourself vegetarian. Rather you can call yourself an ethical non-vegetarian if you eat this cell-meat.
Vegos eat meat and dairy all the time, it's just whether they get caught or not.
With food delivery it's easier than ever to claim you are one for social reasons and to have a moral high horse.
The ag industry sold its soul years ago, traded locally grown, highly nutritious food for large scale industrial production. The price we’re paying now is a generation of people disconnected from the source of food and who are buying into the likes of highly processed, food-like products. We are learning more and more how holistically grown, whole foods are not just important for our health but also the health of the planet. This video highlights more of our folly, thinking we produce something better than what we can produce in harmony with nature. These are propaganda pieces that show a shiny facade, leading the unsuspecting to believe there really is an “easy button”, but that does not exist. I encourage anyone reading this to find local farmers, begin connecting with with where food comes from. It will be so much more satisfying and fulfilling than this artificially grown, vat-grown “meat.”
RIP to your Dad, no doubt he's looking down on you and so proud
Its great what these guys are doing, but those peices of meat were very small. They have some work to do before the consumer really wants this product I think.
Where and how do you harvest the animal cells from animals in order to grow meat, how does it affect the animal when you harvest cells ?
I wonder if they’d get the cost down by setting these factories up closer to where people live. It’s probably more efficient to ship 1 truckload of raw chicken than it is to ship many truckloads of grain so maybe not.
And they should totally try out tons of different feedstock. Like, could we make chicken from a combination of grass clippings, seaweed, and pre-workout?
They can use Solein, basically produce the feed for the cells using air and electricity.
That's just one factor bro......
The cost of nutrients, the run time of the facility etc all matters to bring down the cost
So basically, no chance of super virus from the livestock.
If they took cells from a sick animal you will still get the virus. They gotta be careful I guess.
@@btsarmyforever3816 then don't get it from sick cow, use the ones that are made right.
